It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Don ( from the coffeeshop at Donfords Stellenbosch) has passed away this morning.

DOn was a great spirit and always, but ALWAYS friendly and such a great person to just have a little chat too.

We will surely miss you Don, and condolences to all your loved ones and family. We think of you all and you are in our prayers.

Whenever visiting Donfords, i was always exited to see and chat to Don as well. Will surely be missed!

 

RIP big fellow.

Very sad to hear that. I haven't visited Donford Stellenbosch for a while, but when I did - Don was always there with a smile, warm greeting and a cup of coffee. Condolences to his, and to the Donford, family.

Worked at Donford Motorrad Stellenbosch for a few months in 2014.

Coffee in the morning with Don was the highlight of the day!

RIP Don the gentle giant!

Enjoyed numerous Americanos and toasted bacon cheese & tomato sandwiches whilst chatting away at Donford Motorrad. The memories are forever.......

Condolences to family, friends and like-minded souls.

Don will be missed both by the BMW community and his family.  My condolences and may he rest in peace.

If you can dream it you can do it!
